Claude Code always requires permission confirmation, which is usually a normal security mechanism, not a fault. It is cautious by default: it can read files smoothly, but it will ask you for approval when editing files, running commands, and accessing tools. To improve efficiency, you should use '/permissions' to release in stages, rather than opening them all at once.
Identify which actions should be confirmed first
Installing dependencies, deleting files, changing configurations, running migrations, and accessing external services should all be confirmed. In particular, it is not recommended to automatically release commands related to production databases, cloud accounts, and key files.
Low-risk commands such as 'git status', 'git diff', reading test files, running unit tests, and checking directories can usually be automated. Let Claude Code ask less of this, and the experience will be much better.
Manage with /permissions
Claude Code has built-in '/permissions' to view or update permissions. You can add security commands to the allowed scope and keep dangerous commands for manual approval. This doesn't bounce confirmations every step or let the AI perform destructive actions at will.
If you have an MCP tool, you also need to look at the MCP permissions separately. The Anthropic documentation mentions that MCP tool permissions can be delegated by service or specific tool, and don't give all the tools you don't know at once.
Recommended release order
Level 1: Read-only commands, such as view files, search, 'git status'. Level 2: Validate class commands, such as 'npm test', 'pnpm lint', type checking. The third level: write file operations, determined by projects and tasks. Layer 4: Delete, publish, database, and cloud services are all manually confirmed.
This way, Claude Code will be more like a reliable colleague: do the routine check yourself, and ask you the key actions first.
What to do is not recommended
It is not recommended to automatically allow all Bash commands to save time. AI may need to try repeatedly when writing code, and if the command range is too large, the risk of accidentally deleting files, changing the environment, and triggering online operations will increase significantly.
The most reliable conclusion: frequent confirmations can be optimized, but don't eliminate confirmations. Use '/permissions' to let go of low-risk actions and keep high-risk actions in your hands.
